Wednesday, April 25, 1962

About 22 this morning. This morning when we got up the ground was all white with snow again. I cleaned and painted the kitchen cupboards. Also I got my chambers all cleaned up again. In evening Billie and Wendell Bradley went smelting. Tonight I got a phone call from Betty. Mike left this morning to go back to the base for two weeks. Betty is left alone, got to move all alone, no car no money. If only I could go to help her. Will send her money tomorrow. Billie helped Webb Carlton move. Old Las is okay.
